The Cadiz Telephone gives this ac-
count of case of suicide in Trigg
county ON Aug 25th: "On last Thurs
day morning Mrs. Ssllie Walker, a
daughter of Mr.. C. II. Wallis, of this
county, was found dead in room in
her fathers house. She eloped with
man named w. L. Walker, who was
her brother-in law, within a few
weeks after the death of Walkers
wife, who was an older sister, and
they reported that they had been mar
risd. This was in April, 1885. Sal
lie was only eighteen or nineteen
years of age at that time, and was an
exceedingly handsome girl. Walker
afterwards got into some trouble, and
was indicted in this county and
moved away. We have been told
that they removed to Illinois, in
which State he and Sallie lived until
June, 1885, when she left him. Since
then she has, it is supposed, lived a
rowing life. She stopped at Nash
willie, Tenn, while and was in the
City Hospital from June, 1887, to the
LIST of August, 1887, when she left
there and came home, broken down
in spirit and health, where she re-
manned in i'll health up to the time
she ended her mortal existence by
the use of chloroform."
1.-THE Grand Jury will show dis
position to enforce the prohibition
law, enough indictments can DC
found against all of the yiolators to
break up their business and send
them to jail indefinitely. But to do
this it is necessary to go about the
matter right. Do not rely upon the
testimony of every Tom, Dick and
Harry who would just as soon swear
to lie as not, but summon dozen
or two gentlemen who are in the hab-
it of entering certain establishments
and coming out wiping their mouths
and have them TO state on oath
whether they have directly or indi-
rectly bought liquor in violation of
| the law and some of them at least
will tell the truth about it. After
the indictments are found let petit
iuries do their duty and their whole
duty and instead of encouraging 9th
er violations by light penalty, let
the guilty parties feel the full weight
of the law they have trampled under
foot Much depends on the work OF
the present grand aud petit juries and
/, the people will watch closely to see
what they will do to enforce the law
that every citizen of the town knows
is fagrantly violated every day in
Hopkinsvills.
